an automotive OEM] responsible for the career development of the firm's
executive ranks that if they "could wave a magic wand, what would they ask
for to revolutionize their educational needs?" The answer took me aback
for what I felt was a lack of vision, but their reply was immediate:
"Make it take less time (with the presumption of less cost), make it more
immediate, and make it so that we don't have to bring them together so
often."
Why is this so shocking? Do they benefit directly from education/training
taking a long time? Is the training allocated as an asset or an expense?
When I had no gray hairs, I was taught that what is measured is what is
controlled. We measure the costs of education, but not its benefits.
